Mike Trotzke is CEO of Cheddar, and has run multipole successful businesses in the past. I loved his story and it even inspired me! Learn how Mike went through multiple businesses and solved his own problem with the founding of Cheddar. Learn more in this week’s episode of the Personal Profitability Podcast.
What We’re Chatting About This Week
One of my passions is serial entrepreneurship – aka starting companies again, and again, and again. Luckily, I get to talk about serial entrepreneurship again today with our guest, Mike Trotzke. Mike has started several businesses and is currently the CEO of Cheddar, a payments company. Fun fact: payments was actually the last industry I was in before I left to become a full-time entrepreneur!
In this episode, we will talk about entrepreneurship, the steps Mike took before he became the CEO of Cheddar, and more. Often, the steps we take before we get to success are just as (if not more) important than the steps we take after we’ve established success.
